ARM: “The ARM architecture describes a family of computer processors designed in accordance with a RISC CPU design developed by British company ARM Holdings. Using the RISC approach, the core ARM processor requires only 35,000 transistors, compared to the millions in many conventional processor chips, resulting in lower power usage and making it very attractive in smaller devices.” (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture)
ARM11: “ARM11 is anARM architecture 32-bit RISC microprocessor family which introduced the ARMv6 architectural additions. These include SIMD media instructions, multiprocessor support and a new cache architecture. The implementation included significantly improved instruction processing pipeline.” (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM11)
Apple A6: “The Apple A6 is a system on a chip (SoC) designed by Apple Inc. that drives the iPhone 5 which was introduced on September 12, 2012. Apple claims that it is twice as fast and has twice the graphics power compared to its predecessor the Apple A5.” (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_A6)
Scorpion: “Scorpion is acentral processing unit (CPU) built by Qualcomm based on the ARMv7 instruction set. It is designed in-house but has many architectural similarities with the ARM Cortex-A8 and ARM Cortex-A9 CPUs.” (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorpion_(CPU))
Quad-core: “A quad-coreprocessor is a chip with four independent units called cores that read and execute central processing unit (CPU) instructions such as add, move data, and branch.” (Source: http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/quad-core-processor)
